On June 7, 2016, it was three minutes away from 8 p.m.

The storm continues, and there is a tendency to intensify.

In the parking lot of Xishan Camellia Villa, Zhang Liangcheng has been sitting in the car for almost 20 minutes. He wanted to call Zhang Xueyi several times, but in the end he still held back.

In the wind and rain, the lantern at the entrance of the Xishan Tea House kept shaking, and the hazy light was fragile and strong.

Zhang Liangcheng stared at the glimmer for a while, took a deep breath, pushed the door and got out of the car. The torrential rain came in an instant, and Zhang Liangcheng did not hesitate to close the car door with his backhand, and then ran to the gate of the tea house not far away in the heavy rain.

When the waiter guarding the door saw it, he immediately greeted him with an umbrella. Despite this, when Zhang Liangcheng entered the house, the white shirt on his body was basically soaked. After the waiter gave him a towel, he led him to the reserved box.

Xu Mingzhi hadn't arrived yet, and after Zhang Liangcheng sat down in the sofa in the box, he didn't rush to order tea, nor did he wipe the rain off his body, but just dismissed the waiter.

But after a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the box, and Zhang Liangcheng picked up a towel and rubbed it on his head at will. At this time, there was a tuk tuk knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Xu Mingzhi, who was also drenched, stepped forward.

"Sorry, it's a bit of a traffic jam when it's raining, wait a while?" As Xu Mingyi spoke, he rudely took the towel and snorted twice on himself, and then sat down opposite Zhang Liangcheng.

"I've just arrived, too." Zhang Liangcheng put down the towel and said, "What to drink?" The Yunnan red and ripe pu here are good, and the white tea is also okay. ”

Xu Mingzhi grinned and said, "I don't know much about tea, you can order it, I drink everything the same." ”

Zhang Liangcheng was not polite when he heard this, and after taking the tea list and looking at it twice, he said to the waiter who was standing aside: "Then a pot of ripe pu, a pot of cinnamon, eight kinds of refreshments, and a fruit plate." ”

The waiter made a note and withdrew.

As soon as the door closed, Zhang Liangcheng looked at Xu Mingzhi and said, "I'm in such a hurry to come out, is there progress in the case?" ”

Xu Mingzhi didn't answer in a hurry, just took out a box of cigarettes, and then looked up and asked him, "Can I smoke?" ”

Zhang Liangcheng nodded: "Yes." ”

Seeing this, Xu Mingzhi smiled and said, "It's addictive, I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Liangcheng shook his head and said, "I understand." Not to mention that your work is hard, and the psychological pressure is also great, so there must be a way to get rid of it. ”

"It's okay to work hard, but it's really stressful." Xu Mingzhi took a sip and followed his words and said, "This is not your family's case, it hasn't been solved for so many days, and I can't sleep well this night." Look, my dark circles are going to hang on the ground. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to his lower eyelid, which was indeed heavily underwhelmed.

Zhang Liangcheng's gaze swept over his eyes with his fingers, his heart shook slightly, and he asked thoughtfully, "Isn't the murderer still eyebrow-raising?" ”

Xu Mingzhi suddenly raised his eyes to stare at him, and his inquiring, cold and firm gaze made Zhang Liangcheng's heart jump suddenly.

"There are some eyebrows, but this case is getting bigger and bigger now, and people are a little afraid to investigate it." Xu Mingzhi said.

Zhang Liangcheng frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Mingzhi didn't seem to hear his question, and said to himself: "Luzhuang Reservoir, you know, right? ”

Zhang Liangcheng was stunned, looked at Xu Mingzhi inexplicably, and nodded: "I know." ”

"A few days ago, the flood discharged, washed down a corpse, washed into the Lushui River, last night someone saw it on the riverside shallows, at first I thought it was a dead pig thrown by a nearby pig farm, dragged out to see, it was a corpse, almost scared people to death." Xu Mingzhi stared at him, as if he was emotional, and said as if complaining. It's just that the look in his eyes is not as casual and ordinary as his voice.

Zhang Liangcheng is a smart person, so he can naturally understand that Xu Mingzhi suddenly mentioned this in front of him, it can't be just to complain or sigh to him.

He looked at Xu Mingzhi, his hands resting on his knees, clenched and relaxed. Just as he was hesitating about how to answer this, there was a knock on the door outside the box.

The waiter comes in, and the conversation stops.

After the waiter finished serving tea and refreshments one after another, Zhang Liangcheng, who was already like the wind and rain outside the house, couldn't hold back anymore and asked: "You just mentioned the matter of Lushuijiang, do you want to say that these two cases may be committed by the same person?" ”

Xu Mingzhi reached out and took a piece of fruit and put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly and methodically before he spoke: "There is this suspicion." ”

Rao is Zhang Liangcheng is calm, and there is also obvious surprise and panic on his face at this moment.

And Xu Mingzhi just took all of this in his eyes.

Taking advantage of Zhang Liangcheng's unstable mood, he suddenly spoke: "Did you go back to Miaoshan Village on the night of the 1st?" ”

Zhang Liangcheng, who had not yet recovered from the news just now, suddenly heard the question and nodded subconsciously. After he reacted, he couldn't help but turn a little pale.

After forcibly calming down, he explained: "My father said that he was a little unwell that day, and now he is alone at home, and I am not at ease, so I went back to take a look." Any questions? ”

Xu Mingzhi didn't care about his question at all, and asked after him: "Who is Liu Jinye?" ”

Zhang Liangcheng looked puzzled, not as if he was faking: "I don't know." ”

"Since you don't know him, how can you have his car? The black Volkswagen. Xu Mingzhi reminded.

Zhang Liangcheng was caught off guard again, and he suddenly realized that this conversation, since he received Xu Mingzhi's call, he had fallen into a disadvantage.

Knowing this, he suddenly relaxed. The originally upright back was also slightly bent due to relaxation, and he leaned forward, his left elbow propped up on his knee, and his right hand reached out, took the pot of cinnamon, poured the golden tea soup in the glass pot into the fair cup, and then took two small cups, and poured them seven or eight points full.

"This is rock tea cinnamon, taste it." Zhang Liangcheng pushed one of the cups towards Xu Mingzhi, then took another cup himself, first tasted it, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Mingzhi glanced at it and didn't move.

He wasn't in a hurry, just quietly watched Zhang Liangcheng drink a cup and then brought himself another cup.

Finally, after the second cup of tea was dry, Zhang Liangcheng put down the cup and leaned back into the sofa.

Under the dim light in the box, Xu Mingzhi sat there, looking confident, so that he couldn't have any intention of resisting.

There are some things that he is not unaware of, he just ......

"My car broke down a few days ago, so I borrowed the car from my brother, and I didn't know that the car was not his." Zhang Liangcheng, who had already made a decision in his heart, was obviously much calmer when he answered again.
